Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment. Grandmother was waiting to celebrate Su Yuanche's birthday? The news about the outer courtyard hadn't spread to Songhe Hall yet?
She shook her head slightly. Her grandmother was old and her control over the inner house was not as strong as before.
Logically speaking, when my father and Gu Ruoyun had a quarrel, the servants should have reported it to the old lady immediately.
Su Qingyu signaled Feicui to give her a tip. Feicui took out a silver ingot and put it into Zhichun's hand, saying playfully, "This is a treat from our lady."
Everyone in the mansion knew that the eldest lady was generous. Zhichun happily accepted it and thanked Su Qingyu.
Then Su Qingyu asked, "Have father and Madam Yun gone?"
Zhichun shook his head and replied, "Not yet. The old lady has already sent someone to invite him."
"Right now, Aunt Xue, Aunt Lian, the eldest young master, the third young lady, and the fourth young lady are in Songhe Hall."
When Zhichun said this, he looked at Feicui again and saw that Feicui's hands were empty.
Then he said, "Now you are the only one who hasn't sent a gift yet."
Su Qingyu suddenly smiled when she heard this, "I actually brought a gift. Let's go give it to grandma now."
In her previous life, Cheng Rujin had become pregnant and given birth to a child in the Marquis's mansion, and then attacked her in the Su family. She didn't believe that these things were not the work of these elders in the family.
She would not do anything to kill her father or relatives, but if they died of anger, it would not be her fault.
Soon, Su Qingyu arrived at Songhe Hall.
There weren't many masters in the mansion. Only Su Chengye, Gu Ruoyun, and Lin Shi hadn't come yet. Lin Shi hadn't finished her postpartum confinement yet, so she wouldn't be here either. The people who had gone to look for Su Chengye and Gu Ruoyun hadn't returned yet.
The old lady was already angry that these people came late, and since Su Qingyu came in first, naturally all her anger was directed at Su Qingyu.
"Why are you here so late? The whole family is waiting for you here."
"You don't care about your brother's fifth birthday? You didn't even prepare a gift?" The old lady slammed the teacup in her hand on the mahogany table and looked at Su Qingyu with sharp eyes.
Even if Su Qingyu had a good marriage, in the old lady's heart, she could not compare to her grandson.
This is also the idea ingrained in the aristocratic families. Not to mention a good marriage, even if they want to enter the palace and sit on the throne of queen, they still have to make plans for their family.
How many daughters have become tools to pave the way for their brothers.
Seeing that the old lady was angry, Su Qingyu neither apologized in panic nor explained in a nice tone.
Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Grandma, please calm down. How could I not prepare a gift for my brother?"
"On such an important day, ordinary gifts are not enough. I prepared a big gift for Yuan Che."
Su Yuanche was wearing a satin jacket embroidered with five auspicious symbols and a necklace with a golden lock inlaid with auspicious wishes. When he was silent, he looked like the lucky doll in the New Year pictures.
But everyone in the mansion knew that the fourth young master had been spoiled beyond recognition by the old lady, and that he was a little bully when he spoke. Even though he was only five years old, it didn't stop him from teasing cats and dogs in the mansion and beating and scolding the servants.
Su Qingyu hadn't interacted much with her younger brother before, and after her rebirth, she never even looked him in the eye. Su Yuanche, as if knowing that this older sister wasn't easy to bully, never provoked her.
But today was his birthday, and his wet nurse said he was the oldest today. When he saw so many people had given him birthday gifts, except for his eldest sister, and his grandmother scolded her, he became more thoughtful.
Su Yuanche walked over to Su Qingyu and looked up at her. "Where's my gift? Why don't you take it out?"
The tone was no different from scolding a servant.
Su Qingyu felt a surge of disgust in her heart, but she lowered her head and gave Su Yuanche a smile.
With a smile on her lips, she said, "Of course I have a gift for you. I have found your biological father."
Su Qingyu's words made everyone in the banquet hall of Songhe Hall open their mouths in surprise, except Su Yuanche, who looked at her in confusion.
He asked, "My biological father? Is he here to celebrate my birthday? Has he prepared a birthday present for me?"
A five-year-old child doesn't know what "biological father" means. Because he received many gifts today, he subconsciously connected this matter with the gifts.
Su Qingyu coughed twice and replied, "I don't know about this, sister. It depends on what your...adoptive father thinks."
The conversation between the brother and sister was serious, but it was frightening to listen to.
The old lady came back to her senses and angrily scolded Su Qingyu, "What nonsense are you talking about? What biological father and adoptive father?"
Su Qingyu curled her lips. "Grandma, don't you know? Father personally trapped Madam Yun and a man in bed today. That man said he is Yuan Che's biological father."
"Fortunately, I asked someone to intercept the memorial. If the imperial decree to establish the crown prince had been issued, we would have known the true situation and the Su family would have become the laughing stock of the entire capital."
"I'm afraid all the ancestors of the Su family would be so angry that they would crawl out of the ancestral hall."
The old lady's face changed when she heard this. She held the mahogany table beside her with one hand, and her body swayed slightly twice before returning to normal.
"Are you serious? How come I didn't know about this?"
As soon as she finished asking this question, a maid ran in and said, "Old Madam, go and take a look! The Marquis is about to beat Madam Yun to death."
"The Marquis also ordered..."
When the little maidservant said this, she suddenly stopped talking and didn't dare to continue.
The old lady was so angry that she shouted, "Tell me, what did the Marquis say? Tell me the truth."
The little maid swallowed her saliva in fear and stammered, "The Marquis... The Marquis said to tie up... the Fourth Young Master and beat him to death together."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady stood up and walked out.
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to follow the old lady towards Shaohua Hall. Su Yuanche's wet nurse held him nervously and followed the old lady.
